Semua Bab After The Divorce, He Regretted Everything : Bab 1 - Bab 10

I stood in the living room of our villa, holding a warm cup of soup in my hands. The clock on the wall showed seven in the evening. This was the time Adrian usually came home.The soup was his favorite. I had learned to cook it during our first year of marriage. Back then, he once said it tasted good. Just once. That single sentence stayed with me for three years.The front door opened.My heart jumped.I turned around quickly, a small smile forming on my lips.“You are back.”Adrian Blake walked in with a cold face. He was tall and handsome, wearing a black suit that looked expensive even without trying. His tie was neat. His hair was perfect. He did not look at the soup in my hands. He did not look at me either.He loosened his tie and walked straight to the sofa.“We need to talk.”Those four words made my fingers tighten around the bowl.I nodded.“Let me put the soup down first. You must be tired. You did not eat lunch again, right?”He finally looked at me then. His eyes were c

The emergency room doors closed behind me.The noise outside faded, replaced by sharp voices and fast footsteps. Monitors beeped. Nurses moved around with speed.“Female, forty five years old. Sudden chest pain,blood pressure unstable.”I put on my gloves.“Prepare for ECG. Oxygen first.”My voice was calm. Steady.This was the world I belonged to.Ten minutes later, the patient’s condition stabilized. The danger passed for now.“Good work, Doctor Carter,” the nurse said with relief.I nodded and stepped back.Only then did I realize my back was damp with sweat.I walked out of the emergency room and removed my gloves.The corridor was quieter now.And then I saw him again.Adrian Blake was still standing there.He had not moved.His eyes followed me as if I was the only thing in the hallway.For a moment, neither of us spoke.The distance between us was less than two meters.Yet it felt farther than ever.“You work here,” he said finally.“Yes.”His voice sounded hoarse.“When did th

The rain lasted all night.When morning came, the sky was gray, heavy, like it had not decided whether to clear up or break down again.I barely slept.Adrian’s words echoed in my mind again and again.If you leave, I will follow you.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my phone.He had not called again.No message.No explanation.Just like before.I let out a slow breath.Some things never changed.I got up, washed my face, and tied my hair back. The woman in the mirror looked calm, but her eyes were tired.“Focus,” I told myself. “You cannot move forward if you keep looking back.”At Bright Star Hospital, the atmosphere felt different that day.People greeted me with brighter smiles.“Good morning, Doctor Carter.”“Doctor Carter, the patient from yesterday is stable.”I nodded, replied, kept walking.Work was my shield.As long as I stayed busy, my heart stayed quiet.During the morning meeting, Auntie Lin glanced at me several times.After everyone left, she closed the door.

The hospital felt different the next morning.It did not feel heavy.It felt like a place she had conquered.Yvonne walked through the hallway with quiet confidence, nurses greeted her with respect, junior doctors looked at her with admiration, patients smiled when they saw her.For years, this was the only world she knew.The world she always felt happy, the world that brought her so much joy. Now she was leaving it behind.Not because she was pushed out.Not because life forced her but because she finally chose herself and she was going to somewhere higher. Her assistant hurried to her side.“Doctor Carter, the staff wants to hold a small farewell meeting before you leave,” she said softly.Yvonne nodded Alright,” she answered gently. They had only forty eight hours. Every second suddenly felt precious.She still had shifts to finish, few cases to check, paperwork to complete, but the biggest work was happening inside her heart.Letting go was never easy, but this time, it was n

The sky outside the airplane windows was quiet and wide, but inside the aircraft, hearts were not calm.Yvonne sat near the window, looking out at the clouds. The sunlight poured gently into the cabin, touching her skin like. She looked peaceful on the outside, calm, steady and strong but deep inside, something trembled.Not fear.Not regret.Not weakness.Just a strange feeling.Like the past was not done with her yet.Like fate was whispering something she did not want to hear.She closed her eyes and tried to relax.This journey was not about him.This journey was about her future.Her dream.Her new life.She reminded herself again.She was Doctor Yvonne Carter now.Not the abandoned wife.Not the woman who cried alone.Not the woman who waited for love.She was a leader now.A woman the world respected.A woman who finally chose herself.So why…Why did her chest still feel heavy?Her hand resting on her lap tightened for a moment. Then she forced herself to breathe slowly and ca
